Honestly the hue app the very first one is the one I been sticking with. It works great and better than their other releases. Hopefully this one works better and works with my old first generation color lamps. If not fu ck philips hue

Great news on the exterior lights, but their app is seriously horrible. They are wasting an opportunity to have an amazing product. The technology is capable, but the Philips app sucks. You can do things with 3rd party apps but can’t integrate those basic functions or scenes with HomeKit or Alexa. Philips needs to get serious about their app. I just set up their new Entertainment feature and right now it’s completely useless.
